Block Techniques
High Outer Forearm Block

 

Block

Movement: Lead forearm moves upward and over just past body centerline (to cover a larger area in case intended target is misjudged) and then moves straight upward (similar to an uppercut) as fist rotates clockwise until outer forearm and knuckles of blocking hand face backward.

Contact: Contact is made using outer edge (little finger side) of forearm, which is now facing upward.

Position: For a high  section block, fist ends up about 4" from top of forehead, just past side of head opposite the blocking arm, and higher than the elbow, so a downward strike will slide off the forearm.

Used: Used against high downward attack or a high straight attack.

Example: Use to block a stick being swung downward to the head or shoulder.
